The vampire, that’s all past now. Around Christmas though, the last long-completed “Twilight” movie will hit the cinema, however, the British Robert Pattinson, 26, doesn’t play a bloodsucker anymore. In “Cosmopolis” he’s a barracuda who lets himself chauffeur in a stretched limo around Manhattan. The movie, based on the novel by Don DeLillo, is directed by the master director David Cronenberg. Therewith Pattinson has definitely arrived in the cinema of the big ones. Or not? He shows up for the interview on deck of a luxury hotel in Cannes with a pink lollipop.

Does it taste good,Mr Pattinson?
Oh I like these. Does it bother you when I suck?

No. In a French mag it was written: Robert Pattinson was a star, now he’s an actor. Do you see this in the same way?
Crazy how a thing like that works. Already when the trailer of “Cosmopolis” came out, I read: Now he’s a true actor. I beg you, that trailer lasts 30 seconds, and I don’t even say a word. Who wants to judge that? But it depends on the appearance.

Until now you’ve been the biggest teenager star and not an actor.
Seems like. My career has actually started with “Twilight” in the first place, the biggest thing one can image. When you get big out of nowhere, many think of it being a wrong career. You’d have to work your way up first.

Will you miss “Twilight”?
Acting wise, no, as my vampire doesn’t go through such a huge process. He cannot die, he cannot hurt himself. It’s difficult to develop new ideas. However…

However?
I owe those films everything. Before “Twilight“ I wanted to quit acting. My career didn’t really get on.

Is it true that you were fired during a production of the Royal Court Theatre?
Yes, during “The Woman Before”. Actually I still don’t know why. But afterwards seen it wasn’t that bad at all. Thus the people took notice of me. “What a rebel” they suddenly said.

Tom Riley took over your part back then...
...which really bothered me: At the same time, a secondary role in a film with Juliette Binoche was cast and I really wanted to get it. But Tom Riley got that role too. It was crazy though: There was a review of that film with my name in it and it said that I was pretty good. The reviewer confused us because of the theatre story.

“Hey, what’s up,” Kristen Stewart says, sits down on a simple black chair and crosses her legs. Apart from constantly bobbing her left foot during the interview she appears to be very relaxed and attentive. She’s trying to catch eye contact (wow the eyes!). Her hands are continuously gesturing when she’s talking. And with her lengthened yeeeeahs and uhmmms she obtains extra time before she’s found the right words for her answers.

"I approach animals as I approach human beings."
What's next after Twilight? In "Water For Elephants" the British actor Robert Pattinson expands his dreamboy-image. An encounter.

Robert Pattinson puts his hands - he never really knows what to do with those - in his pockets and leans his upper body forward as if he braces himself against the wind. The body language says it all. The 24-year-old actor has been in the eye of the hurricane since the first "Twilight" movie (2008), that he's only partly able to relate to. He doesn't want to seem ungrateful, but neither he has made peace with the hype yet: "I don't know if you can ever make peace with something like that. At the beginning I had no idea that I have to run along to keep on working. And that's what I'm constantly doing right now, so I'm not too concerned about it."

His latest movie is called "Water For Elephants" and is a in beautiful pictures put, classical love story: Pattinson plays a veterinary student named Jacob (what may make "Team Edward" fans wonder), who joins a traveling circus in the economically troubled thirties and falls in love with the wife of the brutal circus director (Christoph Waltz).
"I've been to the circus only once, when I was seven", Pattinson remembers. "My sister told me a clown was killed in a stunt. That haunted me. Years later she confessed that she had invited the story."


More under the CUT - Same as the previous interviews with a few new quotes.

Water For Elephants" tells from the magical love which changes two people despite every objection and holds a lifetime. In the sophisticated screen adaption of Sara Gruen's same-named bestseller, a past era becomes vivid again and a circus to a loction of dramatic incidents.

Towards the end of the shooting, Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon ("Walk The Line") and "Twilight"-Star Robert Pattinson were available for a short interview on set with the British journalist Elaine Lipworth.

Elaine Lipworth: Reese, could you describe Marlena's journey? It looks like a wonderful role you're playing.
Reese Witherspoon: She's fantastic. I am overhappy that I've got the role of Marlena. It really is an experience playing a woman, who experiences such an interesting journey throughout the whole movie - from a by violence scarred relationship up to the eventual release and new hope in her life. And I must add (laughs), I know this might sound fluffy: But even just the glamour of everything is so fascinating, the costumes and the entire set...!

EL: What type of woman is Marlena?
RW: She's a very interesting girl. She's got a strong survival instinct and works with an unbelievable strictness to be THE attraction in the circus.

EL: How would you describe Jacob, Robert?
Robert Pattinson: The circus world is entirely unknown to him. At the beginning of the story he knows exactly who he is and what he wants. But he notices that the world he gets roped into threatens the idealism in him. In a way the story tells about Jacob, who comes face to face with so many exertions and challenges - and at the end of the day he realizes that he can still be an idealist.

EL: How long have you practised with the elephant, Reese? When we see you and Rosie riding, we think you've been doing this for a lifetime.
RW: I've practised with her for three months. I drove twice a week to the ranch where she lives with six other elephants and practised with her. Again and yet again I fell off her back.

EL: Have you developed a close relationship betweet you and Rosie?
RW: Oh yes! Today's her last day on set and it makes me really sad. This nonverbal, very close relationship with an animal we're all connected with, is simply magical.
RP: Rosie has got a wonderful aura. It's strange - all elephants have got this, perhapy because of their size. You're just so comfortable around them.

EL: What about the other animals?
RP: Well the lion is rather a sullen bloke. (laughs)
RW: You can't even speak with the lion. You can't even look at his thatch.
RP: The zebras are completely crazy! One day they ran away and we all ran for our lives - I grabbed Christoph Waltz and hided behind him. (laughs)

Almost the same as the Miradas Interview from Argentina posted here

Interview from "Friday" magazine, July 2010.

Translation by AdorableKStew  "Kristen in the Twilight"

The hype about the vampire saga "Twilight" is not just a blessing for Kristen Stewart.

The Berlin Luxury hotel 'The Regent', Kristen Stewart shuffles into the room. "Hello", she says and raises her hand a bit unmotivated. Her voice sounds as if she's just smoked a cigarette. Her smile is just as shy as cool. She's wearing the light brown shoes unlaced, loose hair. Grey jeans and knotted jeans shirt. Dark nail polish. No socks. This woman is currently one of the biggest stars on the planet.

The Twihards admire her: Hardcore "Twilight" fans who have been waiting for hours in Berlin in front of the hotel to get a glimpse of Kristen. Yet still she has an image problem: Because Kristen doesn't smile very often on the red carpet and on photos, she's rated as conceited and chronically in a bad mood.
"It affects me deeply when someone writes me I don't feel like doing all this. But it's not!" she says. She's just overwhelmed by the paparazzis and the fans.
"The energy you get is overwhelming. And when I'm overwhelmed I feel so sensitive. And I go like this: zzzzzzt!" She does a gesticulation in front of her face. "The wall runs high."

Kristen doesn't hide her feelings. She is snappy, sometimes even funny, snaps with her fingers and restarts the sentences three times until she has the right words. "When I'm not on set, I'm not an actress. I can't put on a mask."

"KStew" is a real Hollywood-Kid. Her parents work in the TV- and Film-Business. With eleven years she played along Jodie Foster in "Panic Room", her first big role. She used to have mini appearances in other Hollywood productions and in a commercial for Porsche. When Kristen flew as Bella Swan with vampire Edward Cullen through the forest in 2008, she was on the top. At twenty.

Now part 3 of the Twilight Saga is in the cinemas. Kristen, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner have signed for two more. What will it feel like when it's all over? "Honestly we all can't wait to get out of those characters." Sure: The young stars are under pressure.
"As long as it's not over, I have to think about it all the time. The fans have high expectations. It's not an easy situation." This also goes for her relationship to Robert Pattinson. She tries to keep it private, questions are strictly forbidden.

Sometimes, Kristen says, she'd like to confront the Twihards and say: "Hey, I'm no demi-goddess! I was just lucky to get the role." And although she struggles with the fame, she knows: "Without Twilight my life would be a fight. I'd be so frustrated if I'd just film Indie-movies which reach nobody." And she'd hate that even more than not being able to go to Starbucks just like that.

At twelve she switched rooms with her brother because she was convinced that hers was spooked."
"She was afraid of Disneyland as a child.". "He's my life." Kristen on her car Jella.
